The region of Africa explored in this itinerary comprises of a mosaic that is varied, rich, and diverse. Some of the continent’s ancient kingdoms flourished in these lands, and these seldom-visited countries are also home to some of the last remaining primeval rain forests in West Africa.

Beyond the scenic delights, we have fashioned this voyage to focus on the countries’ culture and peoples as well as its rich biodiversity. Morocco beckons with Marrakech’s Djemaa el-Fna Square, where there is a cacophony of oral storytellers, jugglers, and snake charmers. Explore the natural wonders of Arrecife on the Canary Islands, enchanting Laayoune, and the wildlife of Abuko Nature Reserve in The Gambia.

We continue our voyage of discovery in Dakar, Senegal’s beautiful capital city. In Monrovia, Liberia’s capital founded in 1822 and named after U.S. President James Monroe, we will sail along the country’s coast.

Among the highlights of our voyage is our exploration of Ghana’s famed “Castle Coast” and Kakum National Park, where an aerial walkway rises 100 feet above the forest floor allowing us to view life in the rain forest canopy as well as the many special events we have arranged, including meeting with local government officials, private visits, and musical performances.
